lyrics

this tim horton’s furniture is not very comfortable
this conversation we’re having is not very comfortable
you’re staring at watermarks in the ceiling tiles
I’m staring at watermarks just above your hesitant smile
and they’re making me smile
you say that you’ve got no one, that you are alone
you say that you’re suddenly scared that you’ll be left alone
I’m keeping my mouth shut, there’s too much to say right now
you need to be lifted up, to polish your beautiful crown
not to throw it down

you fell for the lie that you would be lonely forever
tim horton’s fell quiet, just as I called you a liar
I said, “I don’t believe it, somewhere someone’s waiting to meet you and most likely he won’t be perfect, but he will complete you”

you’re out on your motorbike, one hundred and fifty cc’s
you’re speeding down foreign roads on the coast of the andaman sea
found friendlier faces, once further away from home
you’ve discovered that no matter where you are, jess, you are never alone
then you found your way home

don’t ask yourself why these circles you’re running grow smaller
‘til the world neatly folds into nothing, and you feel like you’re falling
and abbotsford days, or andaman nights make no difference
geography is less important, than having him with you
